Although the total number of military and civilian deaths in China is close to 5.6 million, it is the only country in this time and space that has suffered smaller losses than in history among the major participating countries in World War II, and it is not a little smaller, you must know that the number of Chinese military and civilian deaths during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression alone in history is as high as 18 million! The death toll of 5.6 million people in China at this time and space is the result of the Liberation War, the suppression of bandits at home, and several local wars with foreign countries since then

More importantly, China not only single-handedly defeated the Japanese invaders and quickly achieved domestic unification, but also seized the opportunity for China to stay out of the situation for most of World War II, and became one of the world's top three industrial powers in 1950, and at the same time took advantage of the exhaustion of the great powers at the end of World War II to successfully recover large areas of lost territory and even successfully expand its territory, which can be called a miracle, and Hu Weidong, who contributed to all this, can also proudly claim that he did not disgrace the traverser group

Hu Weidong was equally pleased that the post-war world situation continued to develop in favor of China. After Germany surrendered, because most people believed that the Soviet army was able to occupy most of Germany's land because it was taking advantage of itself, the Allied forces, especially the American army, were generally very dissatisfied with the Soviet army, so there was a lot of friction between the two sides during the so-called "meeting". British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who had always been anti-communist, took advantage of this opportunity to trumpet the so-called "Iron Curtain" and tried to persuade Truman to go to war against the Soviet Union. No matter how bad it was, the Soviet Union would have to be forced to spit out Germany, and it could not be allowed to organize a new pro-Soviet German regime.

At the time of the liberation of France, however, the total strength of the French communist guerrillas was more than 500,000, several times that of de Gaulle's "Free France" army, and they were far deeper into the grassroots than these returnees, and as long as they adopted the method of seizing power by force, they could easily overthrow the newly formed de Gaulle government.

In this case, Churchill was instigated. Germany has a good foundation. But France is closer to Britain, and the threat of redness is naturally greater. In the end, after negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States and Britain, the French Communist Party was betrayed by the Soviets as it was historically. Obeying the orders of the CPSU to abandon the armed struggle, they were soon easily crippled by the so-called general elections rigged by the big capitalists. Later, it became a negative example in Chinese political textbooks

The Soviet government used this to force the United States and Britain to recognize their control over Germany. He thought he was making a lot of money, but Hu Weidong pointed out sharply at the high-level meeting of the Chinese Red Party that it was based on Germany's industrial base. Once the economy is revived, it will inevitably challenge the leadership of the Soviet Union in the European communist movement, and then the Soviets will have a headache. Of course, the Soviets could also suppress Germany's development, but in that case, not only would the significance of controlling Germany be greatly reduced, but it would also stimulate anti-Soviet sentiment among the Germans

Although Stalin was also aware of these potential hidden dangers, especially separating East Prussia, the birthplace of modern Germany, from Poland, which had just established a socialist regime with the help of the Soviet army, thus significantly reducing Germany's territory, he still underestimated Germany's development potential, and there was an even more disobedient Tito among the younger brothers in Europe!

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the territory of Eastern Europe after the war in this time and space is quite similar to history, such as Romania, Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia are exactly the same, but the difference is that the four countries of Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria and Greece in history have become a unified country "Balkan Federation", and Germany, which belongs to most of the Western camp in history, and Austria and Denmark, which all belong to the Western camp, have also become the Eastern European brothers of the Soviet Union. Coupled with the fact that the three Nordic countries were directly incorporated into the Soviet Union, the red power in Europe in this time and space was far more powerful than in history.

Of course, the strength of the Western camp is also not weak, the old empire Britain and France, plus Italy, which is a semi-industrial country but has a good level of science and technology, as well as Spain, Portugal and the three Low Countries, as well as Switzerland, a permanent neutral country, are not inferior to Eastern Europe in terms of industrial foundation alone, not to mention that behind them there is a superpower that has never been seen before in human history. When the United States organized the so-called "North Atlantic Treaty Organization", the Soviet Union immediately organized the "Warsaw Pact Organization"-for-tat, and China also established the "Organization for Cooperation among Eastern States", which included China, Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, Lanfang, Aceh, Nepal, and Bhutan, which was originally eight member states

However, due to the greater damage of World War II in this time and space, no matter which camp after the war, restoration and reconstruction were put first. And because the United States was hit hard in this time and space, although the "Marshall Plan" still appeared, but the scale and intensity cannot be compared with the historical one, and the labor force in Western Europe after the war is far more scarce than in history, so the speed of economic recovery is much slower than in history. On the contrary, although the losses of Eastern European countries may be greater, because the Soviet model, or Stalinist model, is inherently suitable for recovery and reconstruction, so they generally recovered earlier, especially the Soviet Union, which took only one five-year plan to comprehensively surpass the pre-war level, and the total industrial output value increased even more rapidly, even in terms of year-on-year prices, it was more than 50% higher than before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, which deeply shocked the Western countries.

In 1956, the total industrial output of the United States was $180 billion, the Soviet Union exceeded $80 billion, the United Kingdom was $18 billion, France was $20 billion, and Germany was $32 billion, all of which were significantly higher than at the end of World War II. In this year, Japan's total industrial output reached 18 billion US dollars, and for the first time in history, it caught up with Britain in peacetime (of course, the loss of British population in this time and space is also an important factor), North Korea was 3 billion US dollars, and although China did not have the recovery growth bonus of post-war reconstruction, it still maintained an industrial growth rate of more than 10%, with an average annual growth rate of more than 12% in the five years after the war, and in 1956, China's total industrial output value was close to 100 billion US dollars, becoming the world's second largest industrial country without dispute. But by this time the Chinese population was already close to 900 million (the population of the United States was less than 160 million at this time, and the Soviet Union was less than 200 million. ), according to the average per capita, it is again in the company of backward countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America (to be continued......
